There was an interesting term that I learnt in class yesterday. Locus of control. Mr Storyteller asked the entire class to give definition to this term. First thing that came to my mind was, well, locus sounds like hocus pocus and so Harry-Potter-like so it might probably mean the ability to control spell craft haha! No seriously I thought it was something to do with the centre of control of oneself. It turned out to be the area of control. Hah, not that far! We were then asked to do some sort of questionnaires to find out about our locus of control and surprisingly I scored 60!! Hoho that's quite high considering the avegerage score was like 54.8. I was surprised myself. Perhaps I cheated hehe. After rechecking my answer, I didn't cheat. How on earth I managed to score 60??!!
There are two side of the locus: internally and externally. Internally means that the person's self-control is within himself. He can motivate himself into doing something. Externally, on the other hand, means the person's self-control relies on external factors such as other people, events or things. According to my score, my locus of control is internally. That simply means that I have such willpower that if I set my mind, I can climb the Mount Everest! Whoa! Wait a minute, Mount Everest? Me? No way!! I hate cold!! I can even get brain freeze in the lecture hall, and I'm talking about Mount Everest??? I guess my brain did freeze after all, so bad that I can't think properly haha!!
To those who want a copy of this test, just drop me an email or comment so that I can email it to you guys. I really don't know how to attach files here (except pics =P) hehe
